  • Pan Gem Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd 2011
    Pan Gem Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd 2011 Pan Gem Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd Gemstone Exploration Across Australia Recent Advances to the Syntectonic Model and its Applicability to Opal Exploration along the Collarenebri Antiform By Dr. Simon R. Pecover Managing Director Pan Gem Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd Abstract Recent advances to the Syntectonic Model of opal deposit formation within the Great Australian Basin (GAB) have resulted from a detailed study of micro-structural features evident in opal veins within gently warped interbedded sandstones and claystones of the Angledool Antiform. This study has revealed opal vein textures that preserve repeated episodes of fluid flow injection by viscous Non Newtonian fluids, hyper-saturated with amorphous silica. The preserved textures within these opal veins also show evidence of repeated episodes of opal hardening and brittle fracture deformation of earlier injected viscous fluids. These textures are interpreted to have been formed by multiple viscous opal fluid injection and hydraulic extension fracturing depositional events, resulting from opalising fluid flows under pressure, moving along progressively developing and evolving opal vein array systems. Given the generally horizontal nature of the vein opal deposits studied, and their juxtaposition to facies change boundaries that have been subjected to faulting, generating relay-zone ―flats‖ and ―ramps‖ fault architectures, then these deposits could be classified as stratabound fault-controlled vein-type ore depositional systems. From a regional perspective, the vein systems studied were found to mainly coincide with areas of high intensity faulting within very specific parts of mapped antiformal and domal structures, where compressional dewatering of silica-rich clay facies reservoir rocks appears to have provided highly localised sources of opalising fluid flows into nearby structural (i.e.
